The Ali Abbas Zafar-directed film, that hit the screens on December 22 last year, added Rs 23 lakh more to its kitty on its sixth Wednesday. The total collection of the film now stands at a staggering Rs 338 crore, which makes it exactly Rs 2.80 crore short of touching the lifetime collection of Aamir Khan-starrer PK.

If the current trend is anything to go by, Tiger Zinda Hai will take almost 12 days to earn this amount, which seems highly unlikely. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's epic period drama Padmaavat is already in the cinemas and the next Friday, Akshay Kumar-starrer female hygiene drama PadMan and Neeraj Pandey-directed thriller Aiyaary will hit the screens. In a scenario like that, TZH will have to struggle way too hard to triumph over PK.

Nonetheless, Tiger Zinda Hai has been a record-breaking affair. While it is the highest-earning film for Salman, Katrina and Ali, it is also the biggest success ever for Yash Raj Films in the domestic market. Besides that, the film was the highest-grossing Hindi language film of 2017.

A sequel to the 2012 espionage thriller Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai brought back the hit pair of Salman and Katrina after a hiatus of five years. Despite receiving average reviews from film critics, the film was lapped up by the audiences.
